✈️ Holiday warning for British travellers! Thinking of jetting off to Europe this summer? New airport checks could mean extra costs if you’re not clued up! Here’s what you need to know to avoid surprises and get to your holiday stress-free.
1️⃣ Arrive Super Early: Britain’s new Entry/Exit System (EES) is creating longer wait times at airports. How early? Wizz Air suggests hitting the airport a solid three hours before takeoff! Some airlines like Eurostar have factored the EES process into your ticket times, but better to be safe than sorry, right?
2️⃣ Sign Up for Alerts: Keep your eyes peeled for updates on waiting times or any changes from your airline. Register for alerts via app, text, or email so no critical info slips into that pesky junk folder.
3️⃣ Have Your Paperwork Ready: If you miss a flight due to border delays, airlines aren’t obligated to rebook you for free. Plus, don’t count on travel insurance to cover unexpected costs like hotel stays or rescheduled flights due to EES queues.
4️⃣ Check Passport Dates: Before you pack those bags, check your passport’s expiry date! You’ll need it to be issued less than 10 years before your trip, and valid for at least three months after you leave Europe. Better safe than sorry!
With the EES in full swing for UK travellers, these quick tips will help ensure your holiday gets off to a flying start. Safe travels and bon voyage! 🌍🛫
